International Settlement (San Francisco)
- International Settlement (San Francisco)
The International Settlement was a red-light district in San Francisco, California, USA. Contrary to its name, it was neither international nor a settlement; rather, it served as a place of prostitution and drinking in the 1940s. It disappeared around the 50s and today the only trace that remains is the pillars that held the sign above Pacific Street between Montgomery and Columbus. Today the neighborhood is populated with interior design firms, law offices and other legitimate businesses.
